Double Jump, Sprint, & Dodge (Oh My!)

More WildStar news for you today, as Carbine have released a new episode in their DevSpeak series. This time we get a look at movement, which by their own admission doesn’t appear to be the most glamorous of topics, but the video points out how WildStar intends on making the gameplay a very mobile affair. See if for yourself after the jump.

“I Challenge You: Come And Break My Servers”

It is common knowledge that the closed beta for WildStar has been in action for the last month, but last night developers Carbine Studios announced that a stress test for the upcoming MMORPG is on its way. Live producer Craig Turner took to the official website to detail his role in the process, explain what exactly would be happening, and issued a challenge for players go and break the game’s servers.

It was an unfortunate inevitability, but it appears one of the testers for the Closed Beta of WildStar has either gotten too excited at the prospect of getting in-game or wanted some virtual bragging rights, posting the patch notes for the latest build of the game online. While the culprit is being identified, developers Carbine Studios have taken a rather classy approach by officially publishing the patch notes for everyone to see, continuing their intention of providing transparency for the fans.

Just a quickie - Last night the time at Carbine Studios let the world know that WildStar, the upcoming Sci-fi-Western MMORPG, has officially begun its Closed Beta stage of testing, proclaiming its arrival through the medium of pictures (show above.) This comes after years of waiting for some applicants, although with it being under the heavy guard of NDAs, it might be some time before we see more of what's in-game.

If you have yet to voice your interest in helping test out the game, you can still apply over on the official website. If you have yet to learn about WildStar (and why we are keeping a very close eye on it) you can check out our previous coverage here.

Ahead of their appearance at PAX East this weekend, Carbine Studios have released a new trailer for its upcoming MMORPG WildStar. Acting as a 101 video of sorts, it goes through all of the confirmed aspects of the game, from classes to player paths, from warplots to housing, showing them all in action on the planet Nexus. We heartily recommend you hit the jump and give it a view.

To say that we here are Dealspwn have been keeping an eye on the development of Carbine Studio’supcoming MMORPG WildStar would be something of an understatement – after all, I boldly made it my most anticipated game for 2013 during our 2012 Awards season. This is because to really set yourself apart from the rest of the MMO genre takes some doing, but from what we’ve seen so far from Carbine everything seems to be on track to make the online sci-fi-western experience a special one.

Up until recently we’ve only known about the Exile faction, but that changed with the unveiling of the Dominion – the other side that players will be able to choose from when the game (hopefully) goes live this year. We’ve already been given a taste of what sort of folk make up the Dominion in the personality video and the in-character interviews that were released (the third of which you'll be able to see this afternoon) but to get to know them a little better I decided to go straight to the source – lead narrative designer Chad Moore. A man who has over 18 years of industry experience under his belt, including work on classic RPGs Fallout 2 and Arcanum, he has been responsible with the conception and development of the story, the factions, the races, and the creatures that will inhabit the world of Nexus.

That’s a lot of information to keep under lock and key, but Carbine have slowly but surely giving the community meaty servings of information to digest, the Dominion reveal possibly being the largest yet. To that end, I asked Chad how he felt to finally be able to talk openly about dastardly yet rather stylish faction. “I couldn’t be happier,” he said, “I mean obviously we love the Exiles and we’ve talked a lot about them over the past year, but the Dominion is a really awesome and unique faction. We’ve got tons of lore about them, and obviously from their video they seem to have they own super unique personalities, and so it’s been liberating to say the least to actually be able to sit and talk about these guys and let the fans out there know “hey, there’s a whole other faction, and you’re going to love them for different reasons.”

45 Hours Of Content Condensed Into 4 Minutes

Last week Carbine Studios promised something big for their next WildStar Wednesday update, and they certainly haven’t disappointed. An uploaded video of their Friends & Family beta shows off the latest build of the upcoming MMORPG, demonstrating new combat features in action, showing previously unseen areas, and teasing players with something new at the end. You can check out the video narrated by Executive Producer Jeremy Gaffney after the jump.

Screenshots & Lore Aplenty

As part of their continued WildStar Wednesday posts, Carbine Studios have unleashed details on some of the villainous groups players will come across in the upcoming Sci-Fi-Western MMO; the Marauders, the Darkspur Cartel, and The Crowe Gang.

The coverage for Carbine Studio’s upcoming MMORPG WildStar continues with another in-character interview, this time with the bunny-earred scientist from the reveal trailer, the Aurin Esper named Liara.

Highlights from the entertaining and detail-filled article include talking about her ears, some details about the Aurin homeworld of Arboria, her hatred for the Dominion, and a few hints at her role as a Scientist, one of the four player paths (which will be separate from the character classes) that players will be able to choose from. You can read the interview in full over at God is a Geek here. If you missed out on the first in-character interview with Sarge, you can catch up with it here.

Yesterday also saw an article on the art development of the reveal trailer with Carbine’s Art Director Matt Marcarski. It makes for an interesting read, and you can check it out for yourself at the link here.

We showed some love for Carbine Studios’ upcoming MMORPG WildStar after its reveal at GamesCom earlier this year, and now that love is speading further thanks to WildStar Week. During the next seven days Carbine will be unleashing new information on the world of Nexus and its inhabitants being revealed through interviews and previews.

The first article, an interview titled “Meet The Sarge”, takes a looks at the large blue mercenary Soldier from the reveal trailer. The in-character interview drops a few hints at the background of the Grumak race, and reveals the name of the human Explorer from the trailer as Buck. You can read the article in full over at God Is a Geekhere, and keep up to date with all of the reveals on the official websitehere.

We had an exclusive interview with two members of the development team back at GamesCom, which contains some exclusive hints of what direction WildStar will take that you won’t find anywhere else. Be sure to check it outhere, and if you have yet to see it take a look at the reveal trailer below.
